About this person
Ulvi Cemal Erkin was a member of the pioneer group of symphonic composers in Turkey, born in the period 1904-1910, who later came to be called The Turkish Five. These composers, all trained in Europe took on the responsibility of creating a new Turkish music style, both universal and also local at the same time. They utilized Western musical forms, i.e. symphony, concerto and opera, and brought in melodic, harmonic, modal and rhythmic elements of Turkish folk music, also known as Anatolian Village Music, and Ottoman Court music, popularly known as Turkish Art Music.
